A careful analysis of the computed Agricultural Development Indices for different districts of Orissa reveals that the four coastal districts (Balasore, Cuttack, Puri and Ganjam) and two districts of central table land area (Sambalpur and Bolangir) are agriculturally more advanced than other districts in the three reference years over three decades (1980-81 to 1998-99). All the above districts have exchanged the first six ranks among themselves during the reference years. The agricultural success of four coastal districts is due to well-developed irrigation facilities and vast tracts of plain and fertile land comprising alluvial soil. Districts of the northern plateau zone, namely Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Sundergarh, and Koraput of eastern ghat area are found to be the most backward districts as they have secured the lowest ranks during the reference years. A significant proportion of gross cropped area in these districts is under rainfed agriculture and, thus, drought prone. Phulbani is the only district having sliding or worsening agricultural development index over the reference time period. Regression analysis of the factors accounting for regional disparity unveils that irrigation is the most important determinant of agricultural productivity in a region. There is a need to extend irrigation facility to hitherto unirrigated areas. Therefore, public investments in irrigation infrastructure in underdeveloped rural regions need to be stepped up. During the post-reform period, regional disparity has declined due to emphasis laid on accelerating the growth of backward areas through various special area development programmes.

AbstractThe Policy Interactive Dialogue Model (PODIUM), developed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), has been used to consider data of 1995 as a base to predict water–food security scenarios for 2025 of Agro‐Ecological Region 12 (AER12) of India having a total geographical area of 26.8 million ha. The model has been used to address the food and water security issues simultaneously and generates alternative scenarios highlighting the interlinkages between water and food security. In this study four scenarios: business as usual scenario (BAU); food security scenario (FS); water security scenario (WS); and water and food security scenario (WFS) have been analysed. The BAU scenario projects that the region AER12 of India will face a food deficit of 7.46 million t in 2025. The total annually renewable water resources of the region will be 40.3 billion m3 in 2025, out of which a maximum of 21.7 billion m3 will be available in Agro‐Ecological Sub Region (AESR12.1), followed by 10.2 and 8.3 billion m3 in AESR12.2 and AESR12.3, respectively. The diversion of available water in all sectors (agriculture, domestic, industry) in AER12 was 15.4 billion m3 in 1995, which is expected to increase by 81.7% in 2025, but due to urbanisation and industrial demand, the available water for the agricultural sector is expected to reduce by 64%. In the industry sector it is projected to jump from 10% in 1995 to 28% in 2025.After analysing the BAU scenario of the region, some of the specific alternative options have been explored with the PODIUM model by altering the drivers in order to find feasible ways to make the region secure and sustainable with a comfortable level of food and water by 2025. The outcomes of the alternative options are discussed in this paper. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The present study analyses viable methods of rainwater harvesting in drought-prone Bolangir and examines different bio-physical and socio-economic factors that influence the performance and sustainability of the water harvesting structures (WHSs). The study reveals that the traditional WHSs have proved to be extremely useful not only in normal years but also in water-scarce years. Most of the factors are favourable for development of WHSs in the sub-humid region like Bolangir. Small size WHSs are advantageous over medium and large irrigation projects in Bolangir because of its uneven and hilly topography. So instead of going for big dams those have already consumed a lot of time and resources but not yet completed, efforts should be made to increase the irrigation coverage through WHSs. The government patronage and convincing stakeholders to increase their participation are urgently required for sustainability of micro level water resources.

Hospital mortality was examined in all patients successfully resuscitated from a witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation over a 1-yr period. Variables independently predictive of hospital mortality were a history of congestive heart failure before cardiac arrest, the time between collapse and initiation of CPR, and the time between collapse and restoration of circulation. The latter time was not related to either patient age or clinical history. Thus, hospital mortality was predetermined by prehospital factors, some of which can be changed.
